(Note that this question is not asking about regional or local changes). - Changes in the volume of water locked up in glaciers or ice sheets - Thermal expansion or contraction of water 3) What are jetties (also called groins) and what are they constructed for? What are some drawbacks of using these structures? - Jetties are man-made features that are used to prevent the erosion of a beach by controlling currents and tides and trapping sand being transported by littoral drift - Some drawbacks of using jetties are that they can cause erosion down-current from the structure due to their perpendicular placement on the shore
